The horn and trumpet versions are in different keys. The trumpet
version is a 4th higher than the horn version, so that each is in a
comfortable and characteristic range for its instrument.

Is the horn and piano one in the same key as the trumpet (i.e. is it
really in the horn range)=20

Subject: [Hornlist] New sacred music for horn
My newest composition for horn and organ/piano, Partita on
Neander,=20
has just been published.
From the publisher's web site:
The hymn tune Neander, also known as Unser Herrscher, was
composed=20
by Joachim Neander in the 17th century. Well known in the present
day=20
as the melody of Open Now Thy Gates of Beauty and Rise, Ye
Children=20
of Salvation, this tune has been published with at least seven
other=20
hymn texts. Dr. Hilfiger has used Neander as the starting point
for=20
the Partita, which is a set of elaborate variations on the familiar=20
tune. The hymn melody makes this work a natural choice for use in=20
worship, perhaps as prelude or during the offering, but the
composition=20
is interesting enough to be suitable for recitals as well. The=20
composer prefers organ accompaniment, but Partita also works quite
well=20
with piano accompaniment.
Performance time for the full work is about 4:20, but the variations=20
could be played separately, if desired. The publisher is Really
Good=20
